Soil is undoubtedly the most valuable and dependable natural resource but it is non-renewable in human time and therefore it has to be managed to maximize its conservation and productivity to feed the population. This book characterization and classification of soil along a toposequence and its implications on agricultural activities in Dundaye district Sokoto, Nigeria.
